Re: Slingshot UFO V3

18 m lines are too short for the smaller Ufos, from my point of view. I tried 18 m with the 5 m² V1 and it was too nervos / sensitive for my taste (and I really like fast kites). 21 m is much more relaxed and still very fast (for 3 / 4 / 5 m² Ufos). It was really surprising for me how much of a diff...

Re: inverted Ufo

Thanks everyone, very helpful! I had inflated the kite more than properly. I always pump as hard as possible with my whole body weight on the pump piston. Which equals ca. 11 PSI. Maybe I have not fixed the velcro on the deflate valve perfectly... Everything seems fine now, after inspection. No leak...

inverted Ufo

Experienced something weird recently: I dropped my 4 m² UFO V2 on the water surface. Nothing special, leading edge down, not a real slam either. No idea how and why, but the kite immidiately relaunched inverted (front tube "above" the canopy, bent into the wrong direction). Before I knew it, the def...

Re: Reef break Kite spot in Europe

Fuerteventura. Gran Canaria. Tenerife. Hundreds of reef breaks, waves of every size and force. A bit tricky to find wind and waves simultaneously (as always in Europe): (Trade) winds in Summer, waves (swell) in winter. But even in Summer you´ll find some decent wind swell off the north shore of Fuer...

Re: Airton Cozzolino | One Goal | Cape Verde 2024

What an amazing story. Really nice guy, humble and sympathetic.
Now that he speaks English very well (compared to several years ago when I stopped listening to him and the other pros) he really can tell a lot of quite relevant stuff about life in general.
Thanks for posting this.

Re: Windrange on foil - what kite to get?

Hi all! I have a 12m fs soul which I like for low end foiling (7-14kn). For the slightly higher wind I wanna get preferably 1 kite to have a nice experience with and practice gybes and tacks further. -Wind range it needs to cover is between 10 and let's say gusting 19/20 knots. -I'm 72kg -I'm ridin...

Re: Small wing foil for kite foil (sk8, armstrong, ketos...)

I have measured the thickness of the SK8 750: 13 mm at the thickest point (center).

Re: Small wing foil for kite foil (sk8, armstrong, ketos...)

Wow, those new Gong foils look really good! Wasn´t aware that they bring out such new stuff. Looks very similar to the f-one SK8 at first sight. About the thickness of the SK8: I have to measure it, will do. Yes, I use the carbon mast (HM carbon, 14 mm, the current model). You can use the alu mast a...

Re: Small wing foil for kite foil (sk8, armstrong, ketos...)

Wanted to add: I´m only foiling stapless on a 100 cm board, 10 liters of volume.
Don´t do any tricks / maneuvers, only playing in the waves.
If you do a lot of maneuvers and if you maintain speed, then the SK8 might be a great fit four your riding.

Re: Small wing foil for kite foil (sk8, armstrong, ketos...)

Very interesting thread / question! I have a SK8 750 since a couple of months with the "default" C160 XXXS monoblock tail. I bought it with the sole focus to ride waves (small but steep wind waves, no ground swell, Baltic Sea) and to check whether those super high-tech high-AR wing foils make sense ...
